Prior to 1974, "God Save the Queen" was the national anthem of Australia. It was replaced that year with "Advance Australia Fair" by the Labor [[Whitlam government]]. Following the elevation of the Liberal [[Fraser government]], "God Save the Queen" was restored as the national anthem in 1976 alongside three other "national songs". A [[1977 Australian plebiscite (National Song)|plebiscite held in 1977]] preferred "Advance Australia Fair" as the exclusive "national song", to exist alongside the national anthem of "God Save the Queen". The subsequent Labor [[Hawke government]] later advised the proclamation of "Advance Australia Fair" as the national anthem in 1984, with "God Save the Queen" redesignated as the royal anthem.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite book |last1=Curran |first1=James |title=The Unknown Nation: Australia After Empire |last2=Ward |first2=Stuart |date=2010 |publisher=Melbourne University Publishing |isbn=978-0-522-85645-3 |location=Carlton, Vic |chapter=Chapter 5.
